Default Touring Compass

Is anyone having problems with the HD compass? I installed one in place of the ambient air temp guage on my 01' Road Glide, calibrated it and it worked for about two months. Now it won't even move. It is stuck on W. It has power to it, can't even get it into the calibration mode. Any suggestions????

If you only had it for a short time take it back. Doesn't look like anyone here reading this has one.

Take it back. I have had one 10 months and it still works.

Too late for that. I bought it off of eBay. Worked great for a few months. Got a Harley Store parts guy checking on it for me.
